Iconic Dubrovnik roof to be rebuilt after storm damage

The Department for the Restoration of Dubrovnik has started work on roof restoration at Luža at the end of the Stradun which was caused by the hurricane winds at the end of February. The roof and roof tiles were damaged by the strong northerly winds which reached 158 km/h and need to be repaired or replaced.

In the scope of the project, the overhead parts of the roof will be replaced and new wooden structure elements will be installed, also the roof tiles will be reinstalled after the new wooden construction is completed.

The interventional construction works were included in the 2019 rebuild program and the planned rebuild period is 30 days, and the project was previously approved by the Conservation Department in Dubrovnik.
